FAQ

1. What is the difference between free-zone entry and local registration?

Free-zone entry defers customs duty and VAT. Vehicles in a free zone cannot be used on UAE roads without clearing customs and paying 5% duty + 5% VAT for local registration.

2. Can I use the UAE as a re-export hub?

Yes. The UAE, particularly Dubai, is a major re-export hub for the Gulf and Africa. Re-exported vehicles are not subject to UAE local registration requirements.

3. What are GCC cooling requirements?

Vehicles must have air conditioning systems rated for Gulf climate conditions. Most China-market vehicles meet this requirement, but verify the specific model's AC specification.
